A very sad thing happened yesterday. Dave Mathews Band saxophonist Leroi Moore died. Dave Mathews Band is my favorite band. Leroi was one of the founding members of the band. He was in an ATV accident in June and died yesterday of complications from his injuries. He started out as a jazz musician before joining the band. He played bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, as well as the flute, base clarinet, and wooden penny whistle. When watching him play I always liked to see all the horns around him and how he would just go from one to the other with no problems. Anyway, we were very sad to hear the news. Here is a youtube video tribute someone did for him. It is just pictures of him with the band playing one of my favorite songs (even though it is a cover) for background music. There is a cool solo by Leroi about halfway through.

Thanks for posting about LeRoi - as a fellow (former)sax player I've always had an appreciation for his talent. He was amazing. The sound of DMB will change without him.
